Decaf Colombia El Vernia

STORY
This coffee was produced in Fresno, Tolima by El Vergel Estates. We have cupped through coffees sent by Shady Bayter over the past few seasons, and this season we hit on several coffees that highlighted what they do there. Shady and Elias focus on implementing technology and innovation to push their coffees forward, and it’s evident in everything they do. The coffees they produce at El Vergel are vibrant and wild, both in variety and process. This decaf is a slight departure from their vibrant and wild fermentations, rather it’s a clean and balanced Caturra blend from their farm, selected specifically for decaffeination. 
Something less evident from the cup, however, is their commitment to facilitating an efficient supply chain. By importing their coffees directly to the states, they control how the coffee moves, as well as how it’s marketed. This allows them to send us samples of arrivals directly, streamlining payment as well as logistics.
